I've Seen Lyrics

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How I’m missing you
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How I’m missing you

What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
Used to inspire others
With our way of thinking and speech
People came from afar
Just to hear us teach
Yo, what happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
Mosques are empty
Refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen, we feel secure
‘Cause our mansions are locked
In my teen years
Salah wasn’t really that tight
Now I gotta pray
Each one of them twice
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
Brother, we prefer
Light skinned women
While righteously maintaining
Our deen against racism
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How I’m missing you
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
Kids in Africa are starving
Can’t afford to cry
I’ll pay interest for a car
I can’t afford to buy
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
We used to smile at each other
With faces full of light
Now we frown at each other
We bicker and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying
Kids in the streets hating
Kids on the corner selling
Pops in the mosque preachin’
What happened to the ummah?
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can you tell?
The Quran has left out hearts stranded
Hanging on out walls, 6232 verses, so strong
9 out of 10 of us can’t even read or write
1924 feels distant like way before Christ
I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel
And I see what you see
How I’m missing you
Que le pas
